News and Events

The U8s had their first ever girls match last weekend against PSG Saffron Walden. It was a very entertaining affair and the two sides were evenly matched; in the end Ashwell had too much fire power and won 5-2, with the goals spread around the team. Everyone had lots of fun and are looking forward to the next match.

This years Trophy Night was a massive success. The weather was perfect, and all the kids had a great time having a kick around with their friends, while everyone else enjoyed the BBQ and Bar. There was also a set of stocks for the coaches which the children (and some of the parents) enjoyed throwing wet sponges at. All players from all year groups received medals or trophies, and there were special trophies including players player, managers player, most improved, etc. We have all had an amazing season, and it was a perfect way to end on a high.

Thank you to everyone that supported and helped us, and we are all looking forward to an equally fun and successful 2018/19 season.

Thanks to the very hard work and efforts of our committee (particularly our Secretary Louise Bruning), Ashwell Academicals are delighted to announce that our FA Charter Standard annual health checks were carried out successfully.

Some members of the U7s squad took part in the St. Ives 5-a-side tournament on 3rd June.

They had a fantastic morning of football playing against teams from beyond our Royston Crow league. They put in a great team performance, playing in some exciting matches and having opportunity to demonstrate their skills!
